Eventually, console and mobile gaming won’t be separate entities. They’ll all be one thing. It’s inevitable as manufacturers pack more power and technology into smaller devices. Smartphones now can handle games on par with PlayStation 2-level visuals. Games like Shadowgun are proof enough of that. With that in mind, how would a console launching 10 years from now look like?

It may resemble the unu, a powerful tablet that runs on the Android OS and can dock to a television set so it can act like a console. It’s the brainchild of Sunflex Europe, a longtime manufacturer of video game accessories. It’s a system that has its roots in gaming, but Nicki Repenning, vice president of business development, says the tablet target audience lies beyond that demographic.

“We want to make it an entertainment hub for the whole household,” he said.
